Some Advise of Hike to Buruwisan Falls at Mt. Romelo, Siniloan, Laguna:

1. Prepare all your necessary needs such as:**Tents (If you decide to stay over night. In case you forgot to bring tent, there aresome cottage in the camping site at Buruwisan Falls).**Food (of course to survive, lol. In case you run-out of food, there are some stores atthe camping site but beware: price are twice of its original price)**Cooking utensils**Personals(clothes, lunch box, alcohol, tissue, some emergency medicine)

2. Packed all your things in a backpack camping bag. (Avoid handbags and be prepareto a slippery trail but last time we are so lucky of having a friendly trail up tocampsite)3. Go to Legarda Street, below Nagtahan Bridge(correct me if I'm wrong) is"Raymond Transportation bus station(Telephone number is +632-7339380)". Ride a bus going to Infanta, Quezon and tell the conductoryou point to Famy, Laguna. Every hour, 24 hours a day the bus left going Infanta so you will notbother of catching a bus ride. Bus fare for aircon is more 100pesos and for ordinary is less 100 pesos.)4. As you arrive at Famy, you can buy some fruits at some fruit stand there or youbuy additional supplies. From that point (Famy), ride a tricycle and tell the driveryou are going to Buruwisan Falls. Fare is 15 pesos per head.5. There is a big sign board there saying "Welcome to Buruwisan Falls". Head downand walk through that path down till you see a small bridge.6. At that point, in your left is a water path like a canal(the came from theirirrigation. Walk through that water path till you see a cemented road.7. Follow that path till you see a nursery of trees in your left(Ask for a guide there,is about 200 pesos).8. Cross the small river at your right and look for the "jump off point to Buruwisan".(Ask some folks there)9. Register at the jump off point. Also pay 20 pesos per head.10. Before going to hike, check first your things. (Is your shoes is fix, slipper is notadvisable).

The rest is yours. Enjoy!

Happy: Yes so happy because I really enjoy the adventure and the place(the folks said, there are 8 falls at that mountain range. Some are Buruwisan, Lansones, Batya-batya, Sampaloc falls, etc).

Negative: Some of the campers, uses soap in washing their plates which is in fact they must know that "By avoiding the use of soap at the river is one way of preserving our environment".

We must also avoid loiterring(some of them left their mineral bottles huh!). There is a responsibility there, that you must bring back your garbage to the jump off point.

BAGUHAN LANG PO AKO SA PAGHA-HIKING.WE HAVE A TEAM LIKE OTHER GROUP HIKERS,AND OUR FIRST TRY OF IT WAS IN FAMY LAGUNA,(JUST SHARING)IT HAPPENED TO BE SO MUDDY NIGHT TREK,BECAUSE OF RAIN. WE THOUGHT IT WAS EASY FOR US BECAUSE OTHER MOUNTAINEERS SAID THAT MT.ROMELO IS THE BEST MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB FOR FIRST TIMERS LIKE US,BUT BECAUSE OF HAVING NOT ENOUGH FLASH LIGHTS,GEARS,SANDALS OR SHOES,TEMPORARY BAGS SO THATS WHY WE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE ON THE TREK. BUT THEN,WE ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.WE LAUGH ON EACH PART WE FELL OFF THE GROUND CAUSE OF SLIPPERY MUD WE ENCOUNTERED.. FOR ME, MOUNTAINEERING IS MORE THAN JUST CLIMBING HIGH PEEKS,IT IS THE WAY TO ENJOY A DIFFERENT COLOR OF LIFE AND TO KNOW ABOUT NATURE ITS GREATNESS AND HUGENESS.. SOBRANG SARAP PLA MAGHIKE AS LONG AS YOU BOTH ENJOY IT,NOT KNOWING HOW FAR OR HIGH A MOUNTAIN IS.

Just Saying It!

I found a nice reading material, it is Reader's Digest that I started to love. I used to read it before I fall asleep, while waiting, and even when I am in the call of my nature in the morning. I hope that I am not yet late in reading it. - gb.2008.10.23
